HEADLINE:   A HEALTHLY ASSET MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

SUB HEAD:   AN UNHEALTHLY SITUATION

Healthcare providers use a large number of specialized equipment that is both owned and leased. Information related to this equipment is likely contained within several information systems (purchasing, operations and financial) that usually are not integrated. ‘Lost’ or unavailable equipment results in lower levels of service and/or the need to maintain excess equipment. Financially, the organization must provide a cash reserve to balance the unaccounted for assets, reducing the operating cash availability.

What is the result of this problem? It negatively impacts the quality of service being provided, which results in reduced customer (patient) satisfaction and increased operating costs. Do you have a “system of record” for your assets? How are assets transferred between Departments? What is your current asset (equipment) utilization rate, if known by asset type? Have you established a cash reserve for “lost assets”, if so what is the value?

Example Scenario:

10 pieces of cardiac equipment arrive at a hospital. The shipment is recorded in the books and delivered to the ER. As each nurse needs the equipment, he/she distributes it throughout the hospital without notifying anyone within the ER. Nobody knows where the cardiac equipment is. A nurse goes to the Head of the Department and notified him/her that more equipment needs to be ordered. The Head of the Department looks in his/her records and sees that 10 pieces of cardiac equipment have already been received and refuses to order any additional equipment. In the meantime, the nurse has no cardiac equipment and the patient suffers the consequences.

SUB HEAD:   AN INTEGRATED APPROACH IS BEST FOR YOUR WELL-BEING

Organizations typically have separated the functions associated with procuring and operating assets. This separation causes inconsistency of information. When you compound this with time consuming manual data collection efforts, the end result is an inability to account for an organization’s assets. Without an integrated approach to procuring, using, maintaining, and disposing of assets it is almost impossible to provide an accurate record of them. Implementing an integrated automated solution can provide an accurate picture of an organization’s assets at anytime.
